Sheffield Wednesday are in hot water having been charged by the EFL over the circumstances surrounding the sale of their Hillsborough stadium for £60m, a figure that in effect ‘balanced the books’ in terms of FFP restraints designed to safeguard clubs against irresponsible spending.

Owls owner Dejphon Chansiri had sought to take advantage of a loophole exploited by Derby County and Aston Villa in recent months. The loophole was opened when the EFL took on Premier League rules that allows clubs to the profit of stadium sales in FFP figures.

But a review into the date and manner of that sale is ongoing and it is understood that Wednesday could face a significant points deduction if found guilty.
